When enquiring about boarding, it helps to have your pet's size, breed, and temperament details ready, as these often affect available run sizes and suitability for group versus individual housing. Vaccination records — typically covering DHPP and rabies for dogs — will be required before drop-off, so gather these documents in advance. Many pet owners find it worthwhile to arrange a brief trial visit so their animal can acclimatise to the environment and staff before a longer stay. If you board regularly, ask about recurring schedule options and whether a preferred slot can be reserved ahead of holiday periods, which tend to fill quickly.
To take the next step, reach out to Doggie Retreat and Spa Pte Ltd via WhatsApp, phone, or the enquiry form to share your pet's details, confirm vaccination requirements, and check availability for your intended dates.
Visit the facility, check the vaccination policy, and confirm insurance before drop-off.
I cannot say enough good things about this place – Esther and her incredible team truly love every dog that walks through their doors like they’re their very own. It’s no wonder they have so many long-term regular customers who’ve stuck with them for years! My previous Spitz struggled with bad anxiety, and the team would always take extra time to stay by her side and help calm her nerves. I already knew they were exceptional, but they’ve somehow managed to exceed even my highest expectations with our fur babies, Melon and Puffy. We sent them in to celebrate their 1st birthday, and what they did was nothing short of magical! They threw a full birthday party with beautiful decorations, put together the most heartwarming video to capture every moment, and the amount of effort they put into the setup was incredible. I’m genuinely lost for words at how far they go to make every single fur kid feel welcome and special. Puffy pawrents tot we paid extra for this celebration and set up and was shocked that we did not because of the elaboration. Thank you, Esther and your wonderful team, for bringing so much time, love, and dedication to what you do. You’ve created something truly special here!
Best Doggie Day Care in east coast (and probably the whole of Singapore). My Aussie Shepherd Ernie has been going to Doggie Retreats for the last year or so and I am continually impressed by the levels of service provided. The management are quick to respond and very accommodating. This makes the service feel as though we are the most important customer every time. The staff are kind, knowledgeable and provide my dog a lot of enrichment. It is worth sending your dog for day care even one day because the next day they will be calm and mostly sleepy. They also must have great camera phones because I have an amazing gallery of Ernie's days out with the team. Couldn't recommended more highly.
It has truly been a second home for Tobby and Winky for almost two years. The entire team is absolutely amazing, loving, caring, and deeply dedicated. Leaving your loved ones with them gives you that extra comfort and real peace of mind. A very special thank you to Esther for all her constant support, and to the wonderful staff who treated my dogs as if they were their own. We’ve built so many beautiful memories here. Special mention as well to James and Hanna for their kindness, punctuality, and endless patience—you’ve been incredible. We are truly going to miss you all. 💙
I found out about Doggie Retreat through a recommendation and I’m so glad I did. My dog has been going there since he was a puppy and they were incredibly helpful with his early socialization. I could really see how much care and attention they gave him, especially in those first months. Now that he’s 2 years old, he still goes regularly and absolutely loves it. Whenever he’s waiting for the dog bus, he gets so excited. I’m truly grateful to have found this second family for him, a place where he can play with his doggy friends, go on little adventures and be so well looked after.
They say that all dogs go to heaven... Doggie Retreat is THAT heaven for dogs in Singapore. My pup has been going to Doggie Retreat every week for nearly 2 years now and it's her favorite place in the world. She has lovely puppy friends, birthday parties, and outdoor adventires. When she comes home after a day of playtime, she dreams in her sleep... probably about playtime at Doggie Retreat! The Doggie Retreat team is communicative, thoughtful, and punctual. They are very responsible and safe handlers who truly love dogs. 2 paws up 🐾🐾 highly recommend!

Pricing for pet boarding in Singapore typically varies by the pet's size and breed, the type of accommodation (individual suite, shared run, or home-style boarding), and the duration of stay. Add-ons such as extra play sessions, grooming top-ups, teeth cleaning, nail trimming, and ear cleaning are usually charged separately and can add meaningfully to the base nightly rate. Doggie Retreat and Spa Pte Ltd is priced at the mid-range tier ($$); contact them directly via WhatsApp or phone for a precise quote based on your pet's profile and dates. For mobile or transport-assisted drop-off, confirm whether a collection fee applies. See the full Pet Boarding cost guide for Singapore →
Most reputable boarding facilities in Singapore require dogs to be current on core vaccinations before admission. The standard expectation is DHPP (distemper, hepatitis, parvovirus, parainfluenza) and rabies, with proof of vaccination typically required to have been administered within the past 12 months. Bordetella (kennel cough) vaccination is also commonly required or strongly recommended for any boarding or daycare environment where dogs are in close proximity. Bring your pet's vaccination booklet or a vet-issued certificate to drop-off. If your pet's jabs are due for renewal, schedule a vet visit well ahead of the boarding dates to allow time for immunity to develop. Contact Doggie Retreat and Spa Pte Ltd directly to confirm their specific vaccination policy before arrival.
Pet boarding facilities in Singapore that operate commercially are required to hold a licence issued by the Animal and Veterinary Service (AVS) under the National Parks Board. This licence governs standards for animal housing, hygiene, care protocols, and staffing. At the time of this listing, no AVS licence has been recorded for Doggie Retreat and Spa Pte Ltd in the available data — owners should ask the provider directly to confirm their current licence status and request the licence number for verification. On the matter of insurance, ask whether the facility carries coverage for incidents such as pet injury, illness, or loss during a stay. Clarify the protocol if your pet becomes unwell — whether a nominated vet is on call and how costs are handled. Visit the facility, check the vaccination policy, and confirm insurance before drop-off.
